In the ADRC processing, a picture is divided into blocks, the maximum value MAX and the minimum value MIN of the pixel value of each block are detected and DR=MAX−MIN is set as a local dynamic range of each block. The result of ADRC processing obtained by dividing subtracted values obtained by subtracting the minimum value MIN from each pixel value in the block into DR/2K is set as an object of various editing processing. Thereby, the almost same editing processing can be conducted comparing with a case where an original picture before ADRC processing is set as the object. Moreover, since the among of data as the ADRC processing result is little, a load of editing processing can be reduced comparing with the case of setting the original picture before ADRC processing as the object and video processing is performed efficiently.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An adaptive decoding system for receiving and decoding a plurality of video signals of different resolutions corresponding to a plurality of display units having the same resolutions, comprising: an integrated services digital broadcasting (ISDB) receiver having a signal separator for receiving and separating ISDB data into a hierarchical encoded bit stream, additive information, and a time code; an additive information decoder for decoding the additive information; a resolution creating circuit for decoding said hierarchical encoded bit stream into said plurality of video signals; comprising: a classifying circuit for classifying blocks of pixels from said hierarchical encoded bit stream into classes; a predictive value circuit for calculating predictive value blocks from said hierarchical encoded bit stream; a resolution setting circuit for producing resolution signals corresponding to the resolutions of said plurality of display units for displaying said plurality of video signals; and a forecasting circuit for performing adaptive processing to obtain said plurality of video signals by linearly coupling predictive coefficients determined on the basis of said classes, said predictive value blocks, and said resolution signals; and a selector for selectively outputting the decoded plurality of video signals and the decoded additive information to the corresponding plurality of display units having the same resolution.
2. The adaptive decoding system according to claim 1 , wherein said additive information includes computer graphics and network data.
3. The adaptive decoding system according to claim 1 , wherein said additive information comprises information of local area interest to a viewer and is identified by an area code.
4. The adaptive decoding system according to claim 1 , wherein said plurality of video signals comprises a high definition video signal and a standard definition video signal.
